It seems horrible but hopefully their local DPA made sure that the data shared together with the samples is absolutely and irremediably anonymised ? So unless relatives’s DNA is available there should be no way to link back the tests data subjects with the samples, preventing the worse abuses? Because in the end there’s a consent exception for data used for scientific research IIRC so it’s not like it was not anticipated by gdpr.
Failing that it’s a major dick move and a sad indication of failure of the local DPA…
